FanDuel Same Game Parlay - Bengals vs. Chargers
Leg 1: Cincinnati Bengals +7.5
We're going to kick this one off with the classic alt-line leg to help set the game script. We are seeing a somewhat higher total in this one at 47.5, solidly above the usual line for Chargers games. LAC has the best scoring defense in the NFL so far, allowing just 13 points per game. However, they've got the second most favorable schedule in the NFL at the same time, with a lot of the wins in their 6-3 season coming against teams like the Panthers, Titans, Saints, and Browns. It's not too hard to shut some of those offenses down. Regardless, there is a reason for the higher total today, and it's because the Bengals will be bringing their fair share of offense. We're going to trust them not to get blown away, as they have firepower with Joe Burrow under center and Tee Higgins returning to the lineup. They have a much better chance of keeping a close game than the Chargers do, with a somewhat less impressive offense.
Leg 2: Tee Higgins Over 4.5 Receptions
As mentioned above, Tee Higgins is back for the Bengals after missing the last month due to injury. Higgins has only played in five games this year, but he has 7+ targets in all but one of them, and 6+ receptions in three of the last four. Higgins has been statistically Burrow's favorite target when healthy, seeing more attention than Ja'Marr Chase when they are both on the field. He's a big body and has reliable hands, so it makes sense for Burrow to keep coming back to him. Over 4.5 is juiced to -150, but it fits nicely as a SGP piece, and has been a reliable leg for Higgins as he commands many possession throws throughout the game versus Chase's deep balls.
Leg 3: Chase Brown Under 28.5 Receiving Yards
This leg corresponds nicely with the last one, as we're going to expect Higgins to be picking up the slack and earning more productivity, so Chase Brown's role in the receiving game should take a drop tonight. Brown never had more than 12 receiving yards in a single game until the last two weeks, when he exploded for 37 and 52 yards on 14 total receptions. That won't last against this Chargers defense and with new pieces back in the lineup, so expect a regression on his receiving action tonight.
Leg 4: J.K. Dobbins Anytime TD Scorer
We'll wrap this up with a J.K. Dobbins touchdown for the final leg. Whether or not the Chargers can emerge victorious in this pick'em spread, Dobbins will be carrying the load for them. He has six rushing touchdowns on the year, including three in the last three games. However, he didn't punch it in last week, with Hassan Haskins stealing his TD on the goal line. That is unlikely to occur again tonight, and when the Chargers get into a goal-to-go situation, Dobbins will get his fair share of carries. The Bengals have a below-average rush defense, and an even worse pass defense, so the Chargers should be able to take several trips to the red zone tonight.
